WHAT IS BOTOX AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

It’s no secret that as you get older, your skin begins to look older too. While many people think the only way to rejuvenate the skin is through invasive plastic surgery procedures, we want to assure our patients that getting healthy, youthful-looking skin doesn’t have to be that complicated. Botox® is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that smooths away fine lines and deep wrinkles around the forehead eyes, and brows for an effortlessly youthful appearance that lasts months at a time. This injectable treatment works by temporarily relaxing the muscles in the face that cause fine lines and wrinkles to appear through repeated facial expressions. With no downtime or recovery period, Botox® has easily become a fan-favorite.

Botox is a botulism toxin that is injected into muscles. It works by relaxing the muscle by blocking the transmission of the nerve signal to the muscles. Normally, when the pull of the muscles relaxes, the overlying skin flattens.

Sometimes we relax the underlying muscle and the wrinkle, crease, fold or line is still visible. In that case, we use Botox to relax the muscle, and we use a dermal filler to fill in the crease.

Botox in our two locations: Debary, FL and New Smyrna Beach, FL.

Botox is injected into the facial muscle underlying the problem area. Our Debary Botox injection is prepared fresh on the day of the injection. With a very tiny needle, small amounts of Botox are injected into the muscles to be paralyzed them. Botox takes about half a second to inject. The number of units needed varies depending on muscle strength and the extent of wrinkles/expression lines. The entire treatment process typically takes less than an hour to complete.
